On another point where he's been criticised, the amount of sex and the free-love ethos in his work doesn't bother me much* (I think it can be easily ignored), though given this it suprises me that "Angry Mothers from Heck" TSR used his world as its signature setting in the 2e era.
*The opening to "Drow of the Underdark" did rather weird me out**. But I don't read Ed's novels, so no problem there. I certainly don't begrudge him his fantasies or lifestyle.
**Mostly because it really had nothing to do with drow. Drow priestesses having kinky sex with summoned Type III demon per some Driz'zt book I recall, would have been fine.
And yet another word from our sponsors
